CC-IT GmbH: Cyberbit | Only real experiences can prepare elite cyber operatives for the real world!
Sebastian Herbst

The skill shortage is gone. We are in the age of the experience shortage.

How do we bridge the experience shortage to create elite teams that are fully prepared for
attacks?

To build elite teams that are prepared for the real world we must immerse them in
real-world experiences!

Security teams need a solution that:
• delivers realistic experiences, as close as it gets to real-world incident response
• delivers value fast
• builds technical and soft skills
• allows demonstrating readiness to management and board
• is more than a technology solution but is a complete program

Our vision is to be the trusted operational cyber readiness partner that will guide us as we plan
and execute our strategy. Our mission is to transform teams from hopeful to ready and this will be
our north star as we advance in the operational cyber readiness category. Our purpose is to ignite
the elite champion in our customers. This is what gets us out of bed in the morning as we strive to
build experiences that excite our customers.

➢ Lack of Confidence in Operational Cyber Readiness
➢ Limited Resources to Develop and Maintain In-House Exercises
➢ Operational Cyber Readiness Solution
➢ More than computer-based training, tabletop exercises, and theoretical learning.
This is the real way to readiness!
